REPORTS EXECUTIVE AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S REPORT In 1914, the noted American ethnologist and photographer Edward S. Curtis travelled to northern Vancouver Island and, in collaboration with the Kwakiutl (now Kwakwaka’wakw) First Nation, shot In the Land of the Head Hunters, the first feature film made in British Columbia. In December 2014, The Cinematheque celebrated the 100th anniversary of this important cinema landmark – the oldest extant feature made in Canada – with the presentation of a new restoration. It was one of our most popular events of the year, and an exemplar of The Cinematheque’s mission to celebrate and showcase the finest achievements – local, national, and international; past, present, and future – of the great art of cinema.

There was a good deal of programming we were excited about in 2014: a twopart retrospective of films by the French master Jean-Luc Godard, one of the most important figures in cinema’s history; a comprehensive retrospective of films directed by Canada’s David Cronenberg; “Martin Scorsese presents Masterpieces of Polish Cinema,” an exhibition of 21 newly-restored classics from the 1950s through the 1980s; our annual presentation of Canada’s Top Ten Film Festival, featuring the year’s ten best Canadian features and ten best Canadian shorts; and our 17th annual European Union Film Festival, showcasing new films from the 28 members of the European Union. Our monthly DIM Cinema program, now in its seventh year, remained our signature forum for risk-taking and experimental moving-image art, and stands as a reminder of The Cinematheque’s own origins in Vancouver’s vibrant avant-garde scene of the early 1970s. In July, we screened a 50th-anniversary restoration of The Beatles’s seminal 1964 film A Hard Day’s Night. Overall, we presented more than 500 public film screenings during the course of the year.

A major highlight behind the scenes was the installation, in January 2014, of The Cinematheque’s new DCP (Digital Cinema Package) projection system. DCP is the technology that has now become the professional standard for the projection of motion pictures in cinemas, ending the century-long reign of 35mm celluloid.

It was a much-needed addition to our technical arsenal. As a cinematheque, of course, we still retain the ability to screen 35mm film and other older and alternative film, video, and digital formats. While almost everything new may be migrating to DCP, everything old will not!

The Cinematheque has been part of the creative landscape of Vancouver and British Columbia since 1972, and has played a key role in fostering the vibrant and multi-faceted film culture that exists here. We have thrived over the years because a great many people share our belief in the community and cultural value of an active film institute devoted to excellence and innovation in cinematic expression and in youth film and media education. We have also benefited enormously from the hard work of a dedicated professional staff passionate about cinema and passionate about advancing The Cinematheque’s mission and mandate. My thanks to all those individuals and organizations – our employees, board of directors, volunteers, members, donors, public funders, sponsors, and community partners – whose commitment and support make The Cinematheque and its activities possible.

Looking ahead, we’ve launched 2015 with “The Image Before Us: A History of Film in British Columbia,” a new four-month series, curated by Emily Carr University’s Harry Killas, celebrating the rich film, television, and video heritage of our province.

Our award-winning Education Department, which marks its 20th anniversary in January 2015, continues to do excellent outreach work in the community, offering an array of programs encompassing media literacy and critical thinking, film history and appreciation, and filmmaking training and filmmaking summer camps. Each year, thousands of students and teachers throughout Metro Vancouver and across British Columbia participate in these programs.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

TREASURER’S REPORT

This was another supremely successful year for The Cinematheque. The installation of our new DCP digital projector has allowed us to substantially increase the variety of new and classic cinema that we can make available to our members. Over the last year we have presented over 500 screenings, including retrospectives on David Cronenberg, Masterpieces of Polish Cinema, Jean-Luc Godard, and our 17th annual European Union Film Festival. We once again hosted the Vancouver International Film Festival, DOXA Documentary Film Festival, the Vancouver Latin American Film Festival, and the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival.

I am pleased to report that the Pacific Cinematheque Pacifique Society continues to enjoy steady financial performance, as reflected in the enclosed financial statements. We ended the fiscal year with a surplus of $27,160, increasing our fund balance to $142,547.

We held our 6th annual Open House and several special events including a 50th anniversary celebration of A Hard Day’s Night with a live performance by a Beatles cover band. We also launched the first re-design of our program guide in 15 years, and our Education Department continued to do great work in schools with media literacy and video production initiatives, and launched a new program called Living Landscapes, which took our staff to remote BC communities to facilitate video production programs with youth.

The coming year promises to be another exciting year and we have a number of outstanding programs on the horizon, including a history of the films of British Columbia, a retrospective of the films of Ruben Östlund, the return of our 24 Hour Movie Marathon, and much, much more. We are also very excited to announce that this summer our Education Department will launch The Indie Filmmakers Lab, a new two-week filmmaking program for youth, in partnership with SFU School for the Contemporary Arts.

We have seen a shift in the sources of revenue for the society in 2014, however, overall revenue is up only marginally, $14,574 or 1.4%, from 2013. The change is attributable principally to an increase in Education Department revenue.

Expenses are up slightly, $23,259 or 2.3%, from 2013. The rise in expenses is tied largely to an increase in Education Department expenses – correlated to the growth in Education Department revenue.

Looking forward to 2015 and thereafter, management and the board of directors are focused on growing fundraising revenue and are making it an organizational priority.

As in previous years, credit for these results must be given to the management team and staff of The Cinematheque for their continued passion and diligence for the society and its mandate. They continue to enjoy the board’s full confidence.

From a fundraising perspective, we will be launching special fundraising initiatives to support the cost of preservation upgrades to our film archive, as well as a campaign to replace the seats in our theatre.

In closing, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the executive management team of Jim Sinclair and Amber Orchard, as well as Kate Ladyshewsky, for their consummate leadership. Their commitment and creativity have maintained The Cinematheque as the largest film institute of its kind in Western Canada, and maintains our status as one of the most active and thriving cinematheques in North America. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to my fellow board members, dedicated staff, volunteers, Cinematheque members, and other supporters who have made so many of our achievements possible.

FILM EXHIBITIONS

PROGRAM GUIDE

The Cinematheque, located in downtown Vancouver, is home to one of the largest and most extensive programs of quality, curated film exhibitions offered in North America. We present over 500 screenings annually, providing audiences with on-going access to the significant contemporary and historical achievements of our era’s most potent art form, and celebrating the richness and diversity of local, national, and international film culture: retrospectives of great directors, and important foreign cinemas; new films from Canada’s hottest young filmmakers; prestigious international touring exhibitions; plus guest appearances, lectures, panel discussions and much, much more. And special pride of place is always given to works by homegrown filmmakers and media artists.

The Cinematheque’s free bi-monthly Program Guide provides extensive curatorial notes and support materials for all of our film screenings and exhibitions. With a print circulation of 10-15,000 copies distributed to cafes, bookstores, public libraries, universities, colleges, and many other sites throughout Metro Vancouver, it remains a potent and recognizable resource.

The Program Guide is also published online at Issuu.com for free public access. In 2014, the Program Guide underwent its first major redesign in 15 years, offering a fresh new look and size to readers.

FILM REFERENCE LIBRARY The Film Reference Library plays a key role in The Cinematheque’s mission to promote the understanding of film and moving-image media and to advance film culture in Vancouver. One of the largest collections of its kind in Western Canada, the library is international in scope, but maintains a special emphasis on Canadian cinema. Holdings include thousands of books and periodicals on a wide array of topics related to the appreciation, production, history and sociology of film. The library is open to the public Monday to Friday from 10 am to 5 pm, and is visited by students of film studies and other individuals who find that the collection provides access to materials unmatched by any other library in the Vancouver area.

WEST COAST FILM ARCHIVES The Cinematheque’s Film Archive is comprised of three different collections of 16mm and 35mm film prints. The West Coast Film Collection is devoted to preserving the precious heritage of independent filmmaking on Canada’s west coast. Our holdings include a core collection of more than 220 significant B.C. films dating from 1968 to 1978, the period of the first major wave of independent and avant-garde filmmaking in Vancouver. Most of the major artists who first shaped B.C.’s distinctive cinema are represented: David Rimmer, Al Razutis, Sandy Wilson, Phillip Borsos, Tom Braidwood, Sturla Gunnarsson, Al Sens, Kirk Tougas, as well as many others. The National Film Board Collection consists of over 800 film titles produced from 1960 to 1985.

The Canadian Film Collection includes a number of animated, experimental, and feature films made outside of B.C. There is a comprehensive catalogue of all holdings. The films themselves are arranged according to archival standards in The Cinematheque’s on-site film vault.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS

The Cinematheque Education Department offers award-winning film and media education programs and resources for youth, teachers, and educators.

Digital filmmaking programs, media literacy workshops, film screenings, facilitated discussions, and educational activities foster an appreciation for the art of film and an understanding of the impact of visual media in the world around us. We strive to make our programs accessible to everyone, regardless of income, age, disability, race, or culture.

FILM AND MEDIA LITERACY WORKSHOPS Our film and media literacy workshops include the following programs: •

•

•

•

Sights and Sounds, our in-school digital filmmaking and film literacy program, engages participants in learning the language and process of filmmaking by creating their own short videos. We bring media educators and video production equipment into classrooms and community centres to provide technical and artistic workshops to students and teachers.

Students work in small teams to create documentaries, video-poems, Public Service Announcements, and short dramatic pieces. Among the programs presented in partnership with B.C. organizations in 2014 were anti-bullying themed fiction shorts created by Gordon Elementary students in Vancouver, social justice documentaries with Global Perspective students at Guildford Park Secondary in Surrey, and self-forgiveness themed experimental video poems with alternate program youth experiencing severe anxiety conditions.

Media Literacy Workshops for Youth, providing young people with critical-thinking skills and analytical perspectives for a better understanding of how film and other mass media influence our lives. Diverse topics have included the implications of ongoing and increasing corporatization in the creative industries, and the commodification and influence of youth culture in constructing social and personal identity. Support for these programs was provided by Knowledge Network.

Youth Screenings Days, in which students enjoy film screenings and facilitated discussions and workshops at the theatre. Issues explored in 2014 include explorations of historical and contemporary representations of masculine identity and aboriginal peoples on screen in feature films, as well as an exploration of the films of David Cronenberg.

Professional Development for Educators, using workshops, seminars and lectures to foster media education, technical skills development, and media literacy instruction skills for teachers. This school year included presentations at professional development conferences of the Surrey Teachers Association, the Vancouver School Board Teacher Librarians’ Association, the BC Teachers of English Language Association, and the B.C. Alternate Education Association.

In total, more than 3500 youths, adults, and educators from across the province participated in our Film and Media Literacy programs in 2014. In offering these programs, we collaborated with a variety of community partners, including the Metro Vancouver, YWCA Vancouver and Simon Fraser University, offering media production, film literacy, and educator professional development workshops.

SUMMER PROGRAMS The Summer Visions Film Institute for Youth is our popular summer digital filmmaking program for youth aged 11 to 19, offered in partnership with Dream Big Productions at Templeton Secondary School. Marking its fifteenth and final year in 2014, the program served 120 young filmmakers from across the Lower Mainland during three two-week sessions and two special one-week Grade 6/7 high school transition programs. In keeping with our commitment that these programs be accessible regardless of income or disability, a total of 67 students attended on full bursaries, including, for the fourth year, the group of younger elementary students taking part in our free summer programs. The annual Summer Visions gala celebration, featuring two evenings of screenings and awards, was held at The Cinematheque in late September.

Private donors contributed significantly to the success of the program, with Radcliffe Foundation, Vancouver Film Studios, North Shore Studios, and an anonymous donor. Altogether, our generous contributors provided more than $115,000 to Summer Visions’ successful bursary program. North Shore Youth in Film (a coalition of the City of North Vancouver, District of North Vancouver, and District of West Vancouver, with funding support from the B.C. film industry) also provided 12 bursaries to North Shore youth. Two grants from Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) also provided support to Summer Visions’ mentorship component, under which youths who have successfully completed at least one Summer Visions session and have demonstrated an aptitude for filmmaking are hired, in following years, to work as youth mentors and instructors. Summer Visions mentors and participants were also included as part of the production of a FortisBC safety video, the net proceeds from which assisted in supporting the program.

Our Telus Summer Moviemaking Camp, a parallel program for children aged 8 to 12, was held at the Burnaby campus of Simon Fraser University in July and August, with more than 135 children participating over a period of six weeks.

SPECIAL PROJECTS AND NEW INITIATIVES LIVING LANDSCAPES DIGITAL FILMMAKING TOUR The Living Landscapes project, funded by the BC Arts Council’s Youth Engagement Pilot Program, provides youth in small communities with artistic skills, technical training, professional artistic mentorship, and video equipment access to create video portraits of their lives within the remote landscapes of B.C.. The tour in 2014 included the communities of Dease Lake, Bella Coola and Quesnel, completing three of the four project communities with the final stop in the Kootenays planned for spring 2015.
